STATION IDENT

Hey, you. This is Ehaema. Listen, your understanding of how the world functions is not going to edit itself - at least, not until we're finished with it. Can we get you to face this way? Lights. And 3, 2, 1, rolling...

Anyway, you know what? I think it's pretty telling that even though my internet connection's on the fritz, I've got a technician popping in and out of my room to work on the alarm system, my dogs are going berserk every five minutes, and I still haven't eaten my semi-daily bowl of oatmeal, I can't help but continue reading through your posts.

I'll admit that I probably haven't grasped your full authorial intent (yet), but that's less of a matter of your skill and more of my interpretation of events. That said, you've got a metric ton of interesting ideas that I CAN perceive, and it seems like the further I read, the more invested I become.

So yeah, you can bet I'll be back to continue reading soon enough (sooner rather than later, I hope)...but right now my dogs are about to straight-up murder someone, so I need to handle them. Also, oatmeal.

By the way, two more things: I think "Living Amber" is my favorite post so far, and that song "Numbers" is pretty snazzy.

So yeah. I'll be back...to quote a semi-famous Austrian. Mozart, I think was his name.

Ah, Mozart. His "Kindergarten Cop" was truly a pivotal moment for Western culture.

I'm pretty sure even *I* haven't grasped my full authorial intent yet, so no worries there! I do have a general idea of the direction things need to progress in, but the specifics usually don't come to me until I put my butt in the chair and start typing, and get stuck, and then have to get unstuck as fast as possible so I don't miss an update.

Stalkbox

Introduction of Sorts

I have had many names, in different times and places. They're not hard to discover; look in the Stalkbox if you're curious.

For the past year, I've been writing a novel in public. And I've finished!

You can read it, if you want, using the Archive widget below. You don't necessarily have to read it in order, but it begins on Leap Day of 2012 and moves forward from there. It ends in March 2013.

I really enjoyed that process; I might do it again, as soon as I've finished off a couple of smaller projects that are coming due. I do intend to do a revision pass and edit this into something more manuscript-like in the very near future. But for now I'm leaving this first draft up as it is, for people to enjoy, and for me to remember how it began.

For now, I'll place the occasional thought or musing here once or twice a week, just to keep the cobwebs from gathering.

Thanks for visiting this place, outside of the other places. Spend as much time as you like. We'll see you again... won't we?
